Please feel free to reach out for general school specific advice, or if you'll be coming to visit campus and want to chat.

They have been relatively stable for years, so drafting on last years should not be a problem.

FWIW, when I attended the Stern tour a few weeks ago there was a presentation at the end about admissions and they presented the same essays as last year. Mind you, I didn't specifically ask them to confirm that they were the essays for 2011 application, but that seems implied. _________________
